Description
We live in a rural place with forest, river and field, not so far of the sea (20 km).
We have a global project to produce various ressources for ourselves (we are 2 familly) and more !
Currently, our priority is to refurbish our house, with the material of our land (wood for structure, straw for insulation, earth for coating, etc.)
Because of the children, and interactions with them, we prefere hosting people who can speak french.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travellers will be part of our familly during their hosting and can discover french with us. We try to eat organic, varied, local and seasonal food and can show you where to meet local producers of meat, cheese, honey, fruits and vegetables.
They also will learn "eco-construction" thanks to the work.
We live in Natura 2000 site : you can observe and listen various birds, and there is high biodiversity for plants and trees lovers.

Help
First, we need help renovating our home. We use technics of "eco construction" : it doesn't need knowledge or special abilities, but can be physical or messy : be prepared ! Sometimes we also have some work in the forest like slashing, or in the kitchen garden.
On june and first part of july 2024, we are going to build the partitions of two rooms for the children, with straw and soil, electricity, two glasses, two doors and coatings with sand and lime. There will be also a part made with mud bricks near the wood stove casing.
We also need help with our two kids to take care of them when we are at work, and all help with cooking, cleaning or tidying up the house will be welcomed, because we are expecting a little baby brother for the end of the summer.
From 22th of July to the 10th of August, work will be suspended because family is coming with 8 young child from 1 to 8 years, so we need baby sitting on this part of summer to help parents and make funny activities with the kids (they love the swimming pool, make cabins in the wood, walk by the river, build castle with the soil,...).
